Xuanwu Gate, the east gate of Liangzhou, Zhang Zhao personally led four thousand troops to enter through this gate.

The sun, moon and star flags symbolizing the Tang Dynasty, the Zhang family's banner, the military flags of the Guiyi Army, the recognition flags of each town, camp, capital and general, and the red and yellow flags that guide the army's direction, are enough to be called a red flag. The flags are fluttering and the flags are fluttering.

Leading the army were three hundred armored cavalry, followed by a large number of light cavalry and heavy armored infantry. The four thousand men seemed to be boundless.

Originally entering the city through the north gate, Tonghua Gate, was the shortest route, but at Liu Shaoyan's suggestion, Zhang Zhao took the four thousand troops and circled Liangzhou before entering Liangzhou City.

Liangzhou City has a circumference of more than ten miles and a height of about five meters. It has a moat, a urn, a horse face, an arrow tower, a turret, and crenellations.

Although many places have collapsed now, you can imagine how majestic the original Liangzhou City was.

As the army began to enter the city, the descendants of the Yunzhou Tianping Army and the descendants of the Guzang Li family from the east gate lined up in a long line and knelt down on both sides of the road. Some elders also made baskets and pots of food to welcome the king's division. Drama.

But Zhang Zhao didn't believe this at all. Before he entered Liangzhou City, he had already thought that the biggest obstacle to his control of Liangzhou was not the Momo people, but the Liangzhou Han people.

Because the Liangzhou Han people controlled the best paddy and dry fields and pastures around Liangzhou City, with more than 400,000 acres of farmland alone, they basically monopolized the entire Hexi Jieduliu post and the official positions below Liangzhou governor.

You must know that there are only 25,000 to 31,200 Han people in Liangzhou. If they were not facing the powerful threat of diarrhea, they should be the most comfortable people in Liangzhou.

For people like them, each person can have an average of more than ten acres of land, and a family can have at least sixty or seventy acres. This is still good land.

With such huge benefits, Zhang Zhao brought so many people here at once. It is strange that they can sincerely welcome Zhang Zhao.

Of course, the acres cannot be divided equally and must be occupied by officials, big families and clan leaders, but conflicts will always exist.

If Zhang Zhao wants to raise troops, he must not let them continue to do so. The common people are dependent on the big households for production, and attacking the big households will inevitably affect the civilians.

And according to Pei Yuan, these fields near Liangzhou are still subject to a tax of thirty to one, and even thirty taxes to one may not be enough to collect them. What a waste of money!

As for the Aomo Liugu tribe, they did not gain much benefit, and they were much easier to conquer than the Han people in Liangzhou.

....

In the Kumarajiva Temple in the north of Liangzhou City, after being invited by eminent monks from Liangzhou Dayun Temple, Dafo Temple, Wenfeng Temple, Yingying Temple and other Buddhist temples, Zhang Zhao temporarily led his people to stay at Kumarajiva Temple.

This temple was originally built by King Lu Guang of Houliang for the eminent monk Kumarajiva. At this time, Zhang Zhao moved in as Yinlun Dharma King, which was just right.

However, the Kumarajiva Temple was often damaged during the previous political changes in Liangzhou, and only some of the buildings were still usable, so this was only a temporary measure. In the end, Zhang Zhao had to live in the current Hexi Jiedushi Yamen.

It's just that after Hexi Jiedu stayed in Liangzhou, Li Wenqian, the governor of Liangzhou, sealed the four gates of Hexi Jiedu's Yamen after Zhang Zhao led his army into the city.

"Luo Shanxiong led his capital to guard Tonghua Gate at the north gate, Ma Yaozi led his capital to guard Xuanwu Gate at the east gate, Guo Guangsheng went to Chongde Gate at the west gate, and Qiongre Duojin went to Zhaowu Gate at the south gate.

The west gate and the south gate have been in disrepair for a long time, and there are many blocking horses at the entrance. The four gates must be connected with a certain place by fast horses, and messages must be transmitted every two quarters of an hour.

Except for my personal guard Hanshandu, Hanhai Town is stationed at the North Camp, and Yucheng Town is stationed at the South Camp. The officers of the two towns, from the general soldier down, except for the cooks and patrol soldiers, no one is allowed to go out without orders!"

Zhang Zhao didn't even sit down to get warm, no! He didn't even sit down, so he quickly arranged for garrisoning and patrolling.

Liangzhou City is too big and is in tatters everywhere. His more than 4,000 troops and horses are like sesame seeds on sesame seeds, so you must be careful.

However, Zhang Zhao also understood a truth at this moment. It is really useful to convince people with force. Originally, he was planning to make a plan before moving into the city. However, the day before yesterday, he directly subdued the Liangzhou natives with the "welcome gift package".

The time is right to enter the city. Who cares what Li Wenqian thinks? I, Zhang Jun, don't care about his opinion at all.

The only worry now is that Zhang Zhao does not want Li Wenqian to burn down the Hexi Jiedu Yamen.

It was the only place in Liangzhou that was well maintained and suitable for his residence. If it was burned down by fire, he would probably have no choice but to rob Master Shanyuan's Dayun Temple to live.

....

In the Hexi Jiedu Yamen, Pei Yuan had a big bump on his forehead and his clothes were torn. This was done by Li Wenqian.

Speaking of which, Li Liuhou came from a military background. Even though he had gained a bit of weight recently, Pei Yuan was no match for him and was caught off guard and punched several times.

However, Li Wenqian didn't even take a moment, and was then pushed to the ground by his own tooth soldiers.

"Fuck you, you farm slave, you're going to beat me when we see you! Right or left, beat me hard! Just don't beat me to death!"

Pei Yuan was so angry that he trembled when he spoke. Before Zhang Zhao entered the city, he directly persuaded Li Wenqian's tooth soldiers who were guarding him.

The principle of persuasion is very simple, so simple that the only thing left is the four thousand troops outside the door.

But Pei Yuan was also distracted, thinking that he had recruited all the tooth soldiers, so as soon as he entered, Li Wenqian would have to kneel down and beg him for mercy.

But he never expected that when Li Wenqian's dream was shattered, he rushed up and gave him a good beating. If the tooth soldiers hadn't come quickly from behind, he would have almost been beaten to death by Li Wenqian's mad dog punch.

If Pei Yuan had known that in history Li Wenqian had the heart to lock the whole family in a house and set themselves on fire after knowing that he could not go to Dongdu Xiaoyao, he would not have come up and been beaten like this himself.

"Envoy Zhang said that if you can find the place where Li Liuhou stored gold, silver, silk and satin, as well as the land deeds for the hundreds of thousands of acres of land in his hands, each of the two leaders will get 500 guan, and the rest of the team will

Just two hundred dollars, go home and enjoy yourself!"

After Pei Yuan finished speaking, he touched the big black bruise on his face and let out a hissing breath.

Is this a fucking crime? I've been beaten twice for nothing in the past few months!

Pei Yuan, who was extremely depressed, hurried out and prepared to greet Zhang Zhao.

....

In Kumarajiva Temple, Pei Yuan came to Zhang Zhao carrying a big bag.

Zhang Zhao did want to laugh a little, but when he thought that others had captured Li Wenqian for him so quickly, he could only hold it back.

"The military envoy and servant have already written the document that Li Liuhou was unable to control this important northwest town for the country due to illness, and recommended the military envoy to take over as the commander-in-chief.

Officials at all levels in the Jiedu Yamen, as well as the magistrates of the four counties of Guzang, Shenniao, Changsong and Jialin have signed their names!"

"Good job!" Zhang Zhao nodded. Although the situation in Liangzhou has become like this, the general framework of Liangzhou Hexi Jiedu Yamen is still there, and even the county magistrate, county lieutenant and other official positions below are not vacant.

However, this also led to a very strange imagination. It is possible that the farmers in the fields were also official officials of the imperial court, but sometimes they did not know that they were officials.

"Military envoy, I have always had a doubt. This Li Wenqian is just a fool who killed the previous commander-in-chief and established himself on his own. Officials at all levels of the Jiedu Yamen and county magistrates are basically empty-handed and have no power.

Why do military envoys need to ask them to sign? Why do they need to apply for a title from the court in accordance with the rules? Even the commanders of various towns in the Central Plains do not submit letters to the court in accordance with the rules?"

Pei Yuan looked at Zhang Zhao doubtfully. The era we live in now is the era when warriors rule the country. If you have a knife in your hand, you have everything. Even the emperor will coax you.

Without a knife handle, no matter how much you talk about the rules, they are nothing more than fish on the table.

Zhang Zhao stretched out his hand and asked Pei Yuan to sit down in front of him. Then he stood up and made him a bowl of milk tea with sugar, dried dates, wolfberry, walnut kernels and raisins.

This kind of milk tea is similar to the butter tea of ​​later generations, with sweet and salty flavors. After Zhang Zhao improved the tea brick, it quickly became popular in Anxi, Hexi and Qingtang Plateau. It is a very good drink, anti-hunger and delicious.

Pei Yuan has now become accustomed to Zhang Zhao's behavior. This military envoy Zhang, who has a lot of names and thousands of elite soldiers under his command, is always like this when he is not dealing with military affairs.

He made some tea for his subordinates and generals, and sometimes even cooked some strange meals. Of course, Pei Yuan did not think that Zhang Zhao was used to doing this, but thought that Zhang Zhao was trying to win people's hearts and follow the same routine as Zhou Gong.

"Yuying, the world is in chaos now, the military governors rebel frequently, the tooth generals often kidnap the festival commanders, and the tooth soldiers hold the tooth-clad generals hostage, there is no loyalty at all, and the civil servants are either shameless or faceless, or they are like zombies.

In the thirty years since the Zhu Thief usurped the throne, from the emperor to the commander-in-chief, there has been a revolving door of changes.

The local water conservancy is not developed, the roads are not smooth, there is no culture and education, exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are numerous, and the people are reduced to de facto fish and meat. Where do you think the source of all this chaos is?"

Zhu Thief usurped the throne? Pei Yuan’s head is filled with questions. Who is still talking about this now?

Zhuang Miao, who was the one who was accused of usurping the throne by the Zhu Thief, has not been seen much better than the Zhu Thief after he entered the Eastern Capital. As for usurping the throne, isn't that normal? How can he be the emperor if he has no soldiers?

Moreover, is Zhang Junzhi’s problem too big? He should ask me now how to stabilize Liangzhou!

However, although he was confused, when faced with Zhang Zhao's question, Pei Yuan touched his chin and thought for a moment before giving his answer.

"The world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits. This is the state of troubled times!

In the troubled times, father and son of local Ya soldiers attacked each other and agreed to marry each other, causing the court and even Shangguan to completely lose restraint on them.

If the world is unified and the power of each town is taken away, stability will be achieved, just like in the early years of this dynasty, there was a sign of peace in the world."

Zhang Zhao knew that the dynasty Pei Yuan was referring to was the Later Tang Dynasty, so he shook his head, "But how can we unify the world?

I see that Zhuangzong of this dynasty also tried his best to govern, but the various places surrendered and rebelled again, and rebelled and surrendered again, just like Meng Zhixiang and other people who knew a little about loyalty. After entering Shu, they also blocked the sword pavilion and established themselves as the master.

In the past thirty years, whenever an emperor succeeds to the throne, there must be a bloody battle. It is better to say that he is the emperor than the military leader. It is just a big banner that seizes money and power from the hands of warriors. There is no loyalty in the entire dynasty. If the emperor does not rule, the ministers will not obey, so what is the point?

Unification?"

Pei Yuan was stunned by what Zhang Zhao said. He stroked the beard on his chin with his right hand even faster. Yes! How can we unify this situation?

Even the emperor has to guard against and coax the generals below. This is the case for the imperial soldiers and the generals and generals below the Jiedushi.

The so-called imperial court is nothing more than the emperor coaxing the military commander, the military commander coaxing the tooth generals, the tooth generals coaxing the tooth soldiers, and the tooth soldiers clinging to each other to survive, and everyone reluctantly gathers together.

These people who hold the handle of the knife will gather and rebel whenever they feel unhappy. If there is no peace here, they will rebel elsewhere.

The suppressive soldiers have just dispersed the rebellious soldiers, and then they themselves are likely to rebel immediately because the benefits of the court are not provided. In this case, what is the use of unifying the world?

Thinking of this, Pei Yuan took a sip of the sweet milk tea and cupped his hands towards Zhang Zhao.

"The military envoy is far away from the Central Plains, but he can still see clearly the world's affairs. If you are ignorant, please ask the military envoy to enlighten you."

Zhang Zhao waved his hand, turned around and made himself a bowl of milk tea, "I was in Anxi for a long time. I can't say I have a thorough understanding. I just got some information from the pile of old papers.

Yuying was born in Zhongzhong, and she is a member of a high-ranking family. She is very knowledgeable. You and I can confirm each other, not to mention giving advice."

In the pile of old papers? Hiss! Pei Yuan hissed lightly and accidentally pulled out a few strands of his own beard.

No matter how hard he thought about it, he never understood what Zhang Zhao meant by the pile of old papers. Isn't this what is happening now? Where would it be recorded in the pile of old papers?

However, Zhang Zhao didn't think so much. The situation where five generations of warriors were rampant was indeed very difficult to solve, so he did some research before traveling through time.

Zhang Zhao disagreed with most of Zhao Da's methods in history. This guy was completely frightened and had a stress reaction, going from one extreme to another.

But if Zhao Da's method is not used, what kind of adjustments should be made to the fifth generation warriors?
To be continued...
